No public hack shall, while soliciting employment, stand on any public street or place other than at or upon a public hack stand, designated or established in accordance with this chapter, nor shall any driver of such hack seek employment by repeatedly and persistently driving his or her hack to and fro in a short space in front of, or by otherwise interfering with the proper and orderly access to or egress from, any theater, hall, public resort, railway or other place of public gathering.
No person shall solicit passengers for public hacks except the driver of a public hack when sitting upon the driver's seat of the vehicle, and except that at special points designated by the Police Chief, not more than two agents may be employed to solicit business on the street, provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to interfere with accepting passengers at other places when such is previously arranged with the passenger or when hailed while en route. It shall be the duty of all police officers to notify the Chief of any violation of these provisions.
